I think it was the case of using array literals, like this (I 
didn't know much about D back then)

this(float x, float y, float z)
{
    this.vector = [x, y, z];
}

And megabytes accumulated because there were hundreds of objects 
all doing complicated stuff every frame, passing and constructing 
vectors and matrices around.

Memory leaks could have been avoided, but still, one should be 
careful when using arrays.
